An osteosynthetic implant for a mechanical connection of fractured elements, made of a polymeric biodegradable base material, for use in reconstructive osteosynthesis. An active ingredient assists the regeneration of bone tissue in a fracture area and acts together with the implant to assist growth in the fracture area, so that the mechanical load-bearing capability of the healing fracture increases faster or at least as fast as the load-bearing capability biodegradable implant decreases when decomposing.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. In an implant having a polymeric biodegradable base material for use in reconstructive osteosynthesis and having an active ingredient which assists regeneration of bone tissue in a fracture area, wherein the polymeric biodegradable base material is formed as an osteosynthetic implant for a mechanical connection of fractured elements, the improvement comprising: the active ingredient encapsulated within a biodegradable material and forming a plurality of at least one of micro-spheres and micro-capsules embedded in the implant to assist growth in the fracture area so that a mechanical load-bearing capability of a healing fracture increases at least as fast as a load-bearing capability of the biodegradable osteosynthetic implant decreases when decomposing.
